“Nervous breakdown” in the Hellenic Police about Paleokostas

Fugitive Vasilis Paleokostas is the most wanted man by the Hellenic Police. After the announcement that his fingerprint was found οn the booby-trapped envelope addressed to the former Citizen Protection minister M. Chrisohoidis, which killed his adjutant Giorgos Vasilakis, came the bounty on his head to complete the sudden obsession of the H.P. with the phantom…

So, even if 8 months have passed since the deadly explosion at the building in Katechaki, Paleokostas’ file is dusted off again and hundreds of officers are on the hunt for him.

Highly reliable information reports that maps have been spread on tables at the headquarters of H.P. and the places he is reported to have been seen are marked in red, thus creating an imaginary route with all the places the villain is supposed to have passed through.

«The last location seems to be the Stilida area, where he possibly stole a car. But there is no specific testimony to shed light on the investigation. We are hoping to gather information that will lead to his arrest through the phone numbers we have given out» says an officer to protothema.gr.

The blocks and Paleokostas’ team

The estimations of officers from the counterterrorism and police force units say that Vasilis Paleokostas, unlike his brother, is not moving on his own but has an entire support team following him. This is why during his meeting with the officers at midday on Sunday in Viotia, the stolen Audi was driven by an Albanian accomplice.

«We are looking into a series of robberies in northwestern Greece with a loot of hundreds of thousands of euros to see if there is any connection with the Paleokostas team. We want to find out if he has connections with people from the antiauthoritarian circles» says an officer dealing with the case.

Other realiable sources say that roadblocks have been set up from Arta to Chalkidiki in an attempt to trap the notorious phantom.

It’s worth stressing that many questions arise from the involvement of an idealistic robber, who had not so far dipped his hands in blood, in cruel terrorist acts. In fact, the questions increase as the H.P. announcements were delayed for 8 months even if, as everything points out, they knew about this from the first month.
